Winter Break Snapshot Writing

Starting back after winter break can be a challenge. It’s almost like the first day of school all over again. One thing all teachers know is that the kids are EXCITED to come back! When they walk into the room, the first thing they want to tell you is all about their break. As the teacher, you want to hear all 22 stories but it can get overwhelming and time consuming. Winter Break Snap Shots can help with that.

This fun writing activity allows your students to share all the exciting things they did over winter break. Print the snapshot page and have it laying on their desk for morning work (or use during your writing block.) They can draw pictures of everything they did and then write a paragraph to describe what they drew.

You can print the cover page and turn their writing into a class book. When there is time, they can choose to share their writing if they would like. This also allows you to read them on your own time when you can instead of taking up class time.
